Open access agreement for authors at eligible Turkish institutions

Wiley and TÜBİTAK ULAKBİM have an agreement which allows eligible authors to publish open access without paying an article publication charge (APC). The cost of publishing is covered under the terms of the agreement.

Corresponding authors affiliated with participating TÜBİTAK ULAKBİM institutions may publish gold open access* in any fully open access or hybrid journal, at no charge**. By choosing gold open access an article is immediately and freely available for all to read, download and share.

*Some institutional policies may have additional criteria for approving articles. Please check with your library for any exceptions.

**subject to availability of sufficient funds or article allocations (at editorial acceptance) and approval from eligible institutions' Wiley Open Access Account holders.

If a funding request has been approved but funds/article allocations are no longer available when an article has been editorially accepted and an OA license has been signed, the author will receive an email telling them that their funding request has been denied due to funding exhaustion unless other funding arrangements for their institution are in place.

Your institution wants you to make your article gold open access.

Publishing open access:

  • Complies with funder or institution mandates
  • Allows you to retain copyright through a CC BY license
  • Enables automatic deposit in PubMed Central (when appropriate)
